Re: What does "FJ" stand for?

Thank you very much Buzzard
Toyota FJ Cruiser
-Larry Edsall


I have a question for you Mr Edsall or anyone out there:

I plan to purchase a 2008 FJ in December.
My question is this:

I go 4 wheeling only one or two time a year. When I go camping - nothing to big. I use my 4 Runner - I will switch to my FJ.

Once I purchase the FJ I plan to go 4 wheeling 3 times a year (twice camping and once to a FJ outing)

The following you need to know:
1. I will purchase 4x4 automatic FJ.
2. I love my music so I will purchase the package with subwoffer.
3. I like the 17 inch tires
4. I like a quite running 4x4.
5. I plan to purchase the rack.
6. I want A-trac and rear diff. lock so I will purchase that package.
7. I would like rustproofing and fabric sealent for the interior.
8. I want the tire cover.
9. Will the 2008 FJ come with leather seats - I do like the seats they come with ( Is this correct they are water resistance, order resistance) what other features does the interior seats come with?

Which packages would your purchase with the FJ to get the above items???

One more question looking for foglights for the FJ where to purchase them and where to place them on the FJ??? The foglights I would like either very bright white or white/blue and where would you place then on the front of the FJ???


Thank you very much.

Sincerely,
msksport

Re: What does "FJ" stand for?

Directly off the Toyota web site....

"Land Cruiser models are identified by an alphanumeric code. The code consists of the engine series designation letter(s) and the frame designation number separated by the letter "J". For example a 2 door with a short wheel base and a 2F gasoline engine would be a FJ40. The FJ40 is the vehicle that started it all, therefore Toyota decided to style their new off-road vehicle and name it after the FJ40."

Re: What does "FJ" stand for?

Someone once said on this site that they were origionally made for the American military contracted by Toyota as a "Foreign Jeep". Not sure if that's true or not but it sounds good.

In the 1920's a young Japanese couple had a son, they named him Talley. He grew up a respectful and honorable son and when war broke out in the late 1930s naturally Tally joined the army to help his country. He was soon promoted to the engineers and was helping to study the small vehicles the Japanese had captured called jeeps. He was one day riding around in a captured jeep when an airplane strafed him and the jeep flipped, throwing poor Tally 25 meters into a huge stock pile of barbed wire. Tally was entagled and they had to cut off the wire. By the time the snippings were gone, Taly was missing a part of his anatomy, his sack.
Tally finished off the war and returned to his village, soon he was a college graduate and was engeneering for Toyota where he invented the vehicle to kill Jeep and all Jeep sales, the FJ40, or F*%& Jeep 40. It was a huge sucess and tally was rich, he even bought some bear parts from Kamkatchua that were known to make certain parts work on men, And they did, but having more than just scars in the neither regions, his face being scared to, even being rich, he found most nights he was alone at home. Soon his money was gone and he was destitute, But he dreamed of a new FJ, and soon brought the Idea to Toyota, they were amazed at the creative genious of Tally and told him to continue with the idea. He went so far as to even make a one off that toured the show circut and Toyota put it into production. THe FJC, or F J Cruiser was a huge sales sucess and soon Tally was rich again, and made a National hero, the young man from a small village, the son of mr and Mrs Wanker was known throughout the land and soon he could here his name chanted in Awe, Talley wanker talley wanker talley wanker was repeated each night outside his home, but Alas Talley still got no girl.

LOL

The guys where I work at call it "Fujimoto Jeep"
Wow some is actually right.. I am sure if most of you know this but I was at the Toyota Sema Booth all week last year when the truck made its depute. I made some good friends at Toyota as I drooled at the TRD FJ. It called Fuji Jeep, in name and design, pays homage to the original Land Cruiser, a Jeep-like vehicle known as the FJ40. That vehicle climbed to Checkpoint No. 6 on Mount Fuji in 1951 and went into production in 1953.
